She is a godsend! I have an older very timid dog that really struggles with new people. I honestly was worried that she wouldn’t go outside with the first visit when I wasn’t home. Within two days she she was totally OK with being around Jennie! Jennie has also been so kind to her and mindful, for instance, it was really hot today so she kept her in the grass instead of the pavement. She sits with her even when she’s done with the walk. I could not have asked for a better human to watch my pup! I have her on repeat for drop ins 3x every week while I’m at work and will continue to do so!

Alema had great communication, was timely, took lots of photos, brought sanitized and clean, enrichment toys for my kitty to play with with her and checked that my kitty's feeder and fountain were working properly and had enough food and water. Would love to have her as a sitter again.

Thomas did amazing with our little guy Beau. He did a meet and greet before hand as this was our first time using rover. He is very nice and prompt. He also gave picture updates and made us feel more secure that our little guy was well taken care of when we were at work. Would highly recommend him!

We will book with Susan every time she’s available. She’s always on time for her house visits with our cat, Steve. She sends detailed messages after visits with thorough updates and sends several pictures of our cat, which is a big comfort for us when we’re far from home. During the flooding from Hurricane Helene, we had to cancel our last visit with her since family came to rescue Steve before the floods got bad. Susan kindly adjusted our last visit and took it off our booking, even though we didn’t ask her to and intended to pay her for that last visit for her time. When cell service came back, Susan sent us an update about how our home and yard looked and gave us an update on driving conditions in the area. Susan is professional, communicative, and an animal lover. Your pets will be in excellent hands with her!

About: I’ve cared for furred, finned, and feathered family members since I was a child. I volunteer at animal organizations and have been taught to administer pills, shots, and to prevent injury and illness to pets. I have alerted humans to unrecognized food allergies and abnormal behaviors. Animals adore me for some reason, even the most hesitant ones warm up to me within a day or two! These statements are true of both cats and dogs. I’d be honored to be chosen to care for your beloved family members and home. I can be available weekdays and more flexible on weekends, as I am usually working remotely. During weekdays I can accommodate most 6 hour schedule needs and always 8+ hour needs for care. I may be available for 1-4 hour needs on the weekend. At this time, I don’t offer care in my home as I live in a rental. This is why I love to care for other’s pets!

Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.

Susan was extremely punctual and helpful during her drop-in visits and I couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond making sure the area around the litter box was clean, sending plenty of pictures and keeping my cat well-fed and provided with lots of treats. I’ve got an extremely shy kitty and she made the effort to keep him comfortable without pushing him, the second I got back home he was right back to his happy self. Will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter

I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and compassionate pet-sitter. Will definitely use her services in the future!
